October 23, 20251 yr tower-diagnostics-20251023-1831.zipI've tried moving this device around pci-e slots. Any wisdom would be greatly appreciated.
October 24, 20251 yr HBA is being detected and initialized correctly; make sure it's not the 3.3v issue and that you are using the correct cables. They need to be forward breakout, reverse breakout look the same but won't work, if neither helps, there could be an issue with the HBA ports (unlikely).
October 24, 20251 yr Author I'll take a look at both of those issues, thanks!For reference, this is the cable I got for my card: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018YHS8BS?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1. Do you think it could be a BIOS issue for my motherboard?

October 25, 20251 yr Author Alright I’ve checked a few things and tried different ports as well as a different cable but no dice.Could you explain more about what the 3.3v problem would be? I’d like to avoid taping a drive pin
October 25, 20251 yr Some hard drives conform to a newer SATA specification, where the drive is disabled when 3.3V are applied to Pin 3.There are several solutions if this is your issue: Tape over the pin, use a Molex to SATA power adapter (has only 12V and 5V), or purchase special data/power cables, or use a different drive. It all depends if this is your issue, the hardware involved, and your comfort level.https://www.instructables.com/How-to-Fix-the-33V-Pin-Issue-in-White-Label-Disks-/
